AI Article Synopsis

  • Researchers are exploring ways to modify unprotected glycosides without using protecting groups, focusing on site-selective oxidation methods.
  • By treating the resulting trityl hydrazone with butyl hypochlorite and a hydrogen atom donor, they successfully introduce a chloride substituent to various mono- and disaccharides.
  • This method allows for controlled stereoselectivity and introduces a new geminal dichlorination reaction, presenting a more efficient approach compared to traditional methods that often result in overchlorination.

Article Abstract

To circumvent protecting groups, the site-selective modification of unprotected glycosides is intensively studied. We show that site-selective oxidation, followed by treatment of the corresponding trityl hydrazone with butyl hypochlorite and a H atom donor provides an effective way to introduce a chloride substituent in a variety of mono- and disaccharides. The stereoselectivity can be steered, and a new geminal dichlorination reaction is described as well. This strategy challenges existing methods that lead to overchlorination.
